DEATH In THE WATER.
Is the Element We Drink Decimating tho
People How Universal Menace
Health May BE Disarmed.

A few years ago the peop'e in certai
section in one OF the leading cities OF the
state were prostrated with malignant
disease, and upon investigation it was
found that only those who uaed water from
famous old well were the victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore, ana lyst OF the
New York State Board OF Health, upon
analyizing water from this well, found it
more deadly than the city sewagei
The filling up OF the old well stopped tho
ravages OF the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation for
large building, a stratum OF dark eolored
earth running from near the surface to
hard pan. There it took another course
toward a well near at hand. The water
from this well had for years been tainted
with the DRAWINGS from a receiving vault,
the percolations OF which had discolored

similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water is
used, and though the flteriDg which the
fiuds receive in passing through the earth
may give them clear appearance, yet the
poison and disease remains, though the
water may look ever so clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the slops
into the family well
The same condition OF things exists in
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers led by little streams that carry OFF
the filth and drainage from houses. This
water is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying the water; but even the filter
does not remove this poison, for water of
the most deadly character may pass
through this filter and become clear, yet
the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
| must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they coon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act filter for the blood, and if they
are filed up with impurities and become
foul, like the filter, all the blood in the sys.

neys are the chief means whereby the blood
is purified. These organs are filled with
thousands OF hair-Hke tubes which drain
the impurities from the blood, AZ the
sewer pipes drain impurities from our

the savage escs pes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so if any Of
the thousand and one little hair like sewer
tubes OF the kidneys break down, the en-
tire body is affected by this awful poison.
It is scientific fact that the Kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, conse-
duently, disease may exist in these organs
ior long time and not be suspected by
the individual. 1t is impossible to filter or
take the death out OF the blood when the
least derar cement exists in these organs
and il the blood is not filtered then the
uric acid or kidney poison, removable on
ly by Warmers sale cure, accumulates in
the system and attacks any organ, pro.

Kidney disease may be known to exist il

nary health without apparent known

men who have thoroughly investigated the
character OF kidney arrangements.
